Doug Cockle’s performance in the game has been deemed legendary by fans, and the idea of changing Geralt’s voice would be even more catastrophic than changing the actor inThe Witcherseries. His voice acting gives Geralt more than an extra pinch of reality, as it perfectly adds to the idea that witchers have limited feelings and even more limited expressions of said feelings. He is stoic and ironic but when it really matters, his voice changes to include emotion - and because of that, it is usually heartbreaking to hear.
